Trump wins the election. Where ya gonna live?

I already live in England, but I’m thinking I might move to America. I don’t want to be nuked by mistake! :smiley:

I’m thinking it may be better here than abroad, where you’d have to face all the bitter questioning about the absurdity of the election. But then, I live on a strongly Democratic island six hours’ flying time from the mainland.

I’ll stay where I am, unless or until the closed military base nearby shows signs of reopening and the local airport’s access road is blocked by Homeland Security.

Ah, Vermont.
Sure they can screw things up for us through national laws but we are pretty self sufficient up here and we still have Bernie working for us.

And as Silent Cal used to say:

Trump’s election has only further reminded me how much I hate living in a rural state. Not that Maine didn’t (mostly) go for Clinton, but it’s still Maine. I’ve bitched and moaned about living here ever since I moved here from California.

I desperately want to move to a big city. I’m sick of the sticks. I think I’d feel more at home, and probably find more like minded people in a metropolis. I’ve been fantasizing about moving back to SF or possibly LA. If I sold my house I might even be able to pull it off.

I plan on staying put until the revolution starts … then I guess I’ll be assigned to the Columbia Gorge tearing up railroad tracks …

You shit the bed, you sleep with the stink.

You’re a transplant so you get something of a pass on it, but if we keep the pattern of the young and the educated in the rural states fleeing to “a metropolis”, it will only intensify the politico-cultural divide and the Popular/Electoral vote disjoin.

Yeah, but think of how much closer you are to N. Korea. Then read this.

Staying right where I am. I’m not running away to Canada or a blue state. I’m turning my own goddamn state blue next time.

Snowden. Damn, that made me realize that Trump has probably already cut a deal with Putin for Snowden’s head. Sorry Ed, we barely knew ye.

Nah, that little pipsqueak couldn’t hit something this small.

(Just to be clear, I am talking about Kim and not Trump.)

The problem is that the rural areas offer very little for the young and educated.
In reality, it’s not so clearly black and white (or red and blue). There are plenty of Republicans / Trump supporters in New York City and other big cities. And many aren’t even racist.

I see people here making the same mistakes the Democrats and both the Liberal and Regular Media made. All Trump supporters aren’t toothless racist hicks. There are lots of middle Americans who are struggling with career stagnation, job loss, high cost of living and a general sense of doom and gloom about the future of America as the country they grew up with. For whatever reason, they have developed a distrust of “traditional politicians” (of which Clinton symbolizes) and Trumps message of “Making America Great” resonates with them (wrongly IMHO).

How about Orlando Florida? “… You, the incredible American people, will be in charge.”
